Just recently Asiga has set up a North America headquarters and they brought on Cory Lambertson to run it. Cory grew up in a lab and eventually became a technical support manager at Whip Mix, the company that originally brought the Asiga Printer over. Now Cory is running all things Asiga. Cory talks about the history of the printer, why the Asiga stands out above the other printers, how the Asiga printer does some of the amazing things it’s known for, and what’s next for this printing company that is miles ahead of some of the other printers.

October 2021 Elvis and Barb FINALLY got to record at a LIVE event together for the first times since February 2020. Lucky it was at the Whip Mix Digital Forum, a packed event full of fantastic speakers, vendors, and attendees that were super excited just to be out enjoying the dental lab industry. This first episode for the event has Elvis and Barb talking to the CEO of Whip Mix herself, Anne Steinbock. Anne talks about the family history, her past jobs at the company and becoming CEO, and some great tales of Whip Mix past. Then we talk to Pat Higgins and Bryce Hiller about the new Whip Mix VeriONE Digital workflow for clinicians. This workflow, when announced, caused a lot of rumors and misinformation about what it was. Pat and Bryce come on to set the record straight on how it's actually a good thing for dental labs.

Have you seen the high prices of precious metal these days? They are close to record highs on gold and palladium. With those high precious metal prices, you are paying a high cost for your alloys. We know that you are using less Precious metal in your lab these days, but if you send in half of what you sent in 5 years ago ,your scrap return will be higher than it was 5 years ago ,because of the high PM prices . You owe it to yourself to find a trusted, reputable refining company.

Look no further! Kulzer refining has been tested, trusted and reputable for over 100 years. They burn, melt and assay all under one roof at their state-of-the-art refining facility in Wartburg Tennessee. They have doubled their production capacity to ensure your scrap return within 2 weeks.

With all the non-precious material that has become present in today’s restorations it is important that we ensure the assay sample is homogenous. At Kulzer, they take the extra step to X-ray the top and bottom after they melt the bar to make sure the precious metal percentages--- are the same. If not, copper is added until they are positive the bar is homogeneous. We know this step is very important to get a precise assay result.

Their reimbursement to the customer is after our 10% refining fee. They have zero additional fees. If you need any free shipping containers, which contain a UPS prepaid, full insured label, please visit mydental360.com/refining or call the Director of Precious Metal Refining, Tony Circelli, directly at (914) 906-1843.
